Why It Is A Blessing And Curse Having A Long Distance Best Friend

Why did you have to go to school so far away?

Why It Is A Blessing And Curse Having A Long Distance Best Friend
Meredith Olsen

If anyone knows me, they know my best friend lives 20 hours away from me. The girl who was by my side since high school decided to go to school in Corpus Christi, TX. To be honest, I am so proud of her to have the guts to move to a new city so far away from her family and hometown to where she knew no one, and totally kick ass at it!

1. We always have something to talk about.

What's nice about us not being at the same college and living together, and not in the same town or close enough to see each other daily, is that we each have grown as adults. We can talk daily and always have something new to tell one another. Which is always nice cause I love hearing about your life down there, boo.

2. You can always cheer me up even if it's with a goofy text or a long phone call.

I'm so glad you have an upbeat personality where you are always there to pick me up when I feel down. I'd probably be dead by now if it weren't for you, and your persistence!

3. We call each other just to hear the other's voice because we miss each other.

I love our random hour long phone calls, usually you listening to me driving and bitching about how everyone here sucks at driving, but hey, every minute counts.

4. We have airport reunions like in the movies, cause we are just that cute

I honestly cannot wait until Spring Break until I get my Shannon hug at the airport.

5. Although our times together are shorter than we want, we make the best memories together.

We make the best memories when we are together, and I would not trade that for the world.

6. We celebrate Christmas and our birthdays all in one visit.

We sure know how to cram every holiday celebration in on our visits.

7. We share a love for the same things. Netflix and Wine.

I love our nights of binge watching dramas on Netflix and giggling uncontrollably.

8. You keep a countdown as to when you will see each other next.

I literally see you in one week, and I cannot contain my excitement, I love how our counting down the days has only kept us motivated to make it through midterms to get to see one another.

9. I wouldn't want anyone else as my best friend, you are my person. Forever and always, boo.

You are my real life Christina Yang, and I am your real life Meredith Grey (no pun intended ha!). I would not trade you for anything. You are my better half. And yes, you are half way across the country but I know you are still my person, and always there when I need you to be, and vice versa. I love you, best friend.


Although you are so far from me, I cannot express how truly amazing and awesome you are. I cannot wait to make more memories and adventures with you over spring break and this summer. We always know how to have a good time, and I am glad that we complete one another. I miss you boo, but I am so beyond proud of you for pursuing your passions, and dreams. Someday, we'll be old ladies chasing each other in wheelchairs around the nursing home, and no one will ever tear us apart. No matter what you are my best friend, my sister by friendship.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
